Maple walnut old fashioned
Mike P.

On Swann consistently came up as a top restaurant choice in all the social media posts I've seen so we finally made it here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is charming and upbeat with indoor and outdoor seating. We had a reservation and were seating promptly. Our server Kristin was very friendly, attentive and did a fantastic job. The cocktails were great. We ordered the saffron arancini and it was very good. For dinner we had the scallops with Brussel sprouts and the steak frites, the presentation was amazing and both were delicious. One of the managers Jesus stopped by several times to check on us and was very friendly. Overall this was an excellent experience and we will definitely be returning soon.

Pork Chop

Yum!!!! We had a reservation for 2 for a date night and it was the perfect spot. The tables are maybe a bit closer than preferred but besides that it was so fun! Staff was extremely friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations. The drinks were crisp, pork chop was tender, and scallops were perfectly cooked with the best base. Overall, amazing experience and would definitely come back!

On Swann is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. The only thing I dislike about this restaurant is how loud it gets but everything else is wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. We did a girl dinner and tried a ton of appetizers that we all split and literally everything was amazing. The waiter was great, he was very attentive and super knowledgeable about the menu. Overall it was a great meal!

Steak Frites
Amanda B.

The steak frites were delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly with great flavor! We were able to swap a deconstructed Caesar as our side and the dressing was amazing. The chef was able to modify everything to be celiac safe. My only complaint was that the fries weren't hot when they arrived. Overall, a great meal and it was the perfect size to split with a friend. I'd definitely consider ordering it again!

Arancini

We had a reservation, but arrived 30 minutes early and were still able to sit. Our server quickly brought us water and took our order. Friends warned me it would be very loud, which it was, but knowing this ahead of time helped. Brunch was so nice and the decor is so stylish. My boyfriend joked that the customers were all women, so it's definitely a great place to go with your girls.

A calm restaurant, I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, my friend a steak. We went for a birthday brunch as the staff was so kind! It was also not super crowded, which I enjoyed.

I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. On Swann offers interior and exterior sitting, just be careful of the no-see-ums, when sitting outside. Connor was my waiter and he was friendly and attentive. Check on my table frequently and knew the menu well as he recommended a few options. I really enjoyed the spring salad and added blackened chicken. For the entree, I tried the chicken sandwich that was delicious and love the fries. I highly recommend On Swann!

Truffle fries

My friends and I went to here and had a great experience! Apps and drinks were so great and vibes were a 10/10

Luisa J.

Came back here again but for Mother's Day brunch. We had an amazing visit as usual. However I was super bummed that the menu no longer offers the fried green tomatoes, as those were my favorite here. This time I ordered the smoked Salmon and it was delicious. I had a few bites of the cinnamon roll, which was still amazing. I looked over at my dad's plate which was the short rib hash, and it did not look that great. It was very minimal looking. I tried the famous kale salad and it was bland. My bf ordered the chicken and waffles and was disappointed with the chicken. It was kind of dry and he would have preferred an actual fried peice of chicken instead of tenders. I would still come back here but maybe for dinner next time instead.

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time! It's one of those restaurants you would think is overpriced and underwhelming but I didn't feel that way at all. The ambiance is perfect, especially for date nights. Modern and classy feeling, perfect for the South Tampa vibe. Everything I had was delicious especially the Steak Frittes, although I do think the steak could have been a tad larger. The fries were crispy though and I loved dipping them in my burrata appetizer. Brussel Sprouts were 10/10 and went well with the spicy margarita! For sure worth a visit, highly recommend.

Short rib hash
Gab G.

Made a reservation for midday on a Sunday. My boyfriend and I shared the kale salad, which was amazing, and the short rib hash. Great brunch spot!

Thyme after thyme: gin, Asian pear, honey, thyme and rosemary, Madagascar vanilla, lemon. Omg, soo good!!

Another stellar nite of eats at On Swann. We came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. Our server Priscilla helped guide us through the menu with her recommendations. She was awesome, loved her energy. Side note: their menu changes according to the seasons. We had the opportunity to try the Fall menu. My faves were Zeppole with the amazing dipping sauces, Kale Salad, Lamb meatballs with the melt in mouth grits, Arancini balls (wow) and of course the dessert board ( we went for Bread pudding,decadent chocolate cake and cobbler). My friend raved about the chicken but it was too sweet for me. There was nothing "hot" about the chicken. Empanadas were lost on us, was lacking texture. Lastly the hummus, i didn't like this at all. I did not like the braised lamb hummus, something was off. Too acidic. A few hiccups but overall it was a fantastic nite surrounded by friends and amazing food.

My son and I first came here for a "one last great meal before leaving Tampa" and it was certainly a good decision. Love how lively and comfortable the dining room is... white and soft moss colors with plenty of light and busy, yet simple decor. Open ceiling exposing all the overhead pipes (water, fire, AC ducts and lighting) give it that industrial hint but somehow still feels a bit country-ish with their distressed, communal teal tables. We started off with an order of their MUSSELS to share (green curry coconut milk and coriander served with delicious garlic toast). Move over Pepsi, On Swann makes Craft Sodas and we tried a couple of them. I had a WATERMELON soda (think it had ginger beer in it) and my son had a HONEY ORANGE soda. My son loved his BLT SANDWICH... heirloom tomatoes, smoked bacon, frisée, seasoned mayonnaise on challah bread. He said the bread made the sandwich special. I went with the SPICY BUTTERMILK CHICKEN SANDWICH (with celery root slaw, honey butter and dill pickles on a brioche bun). Although I thought it was too big a bun for the chicken size it was still a delicious balance of flavors. Overall, ON SWANN is ON POINT !

The desserts do not disappoint…read more We made a last-minute decision to come get dessert here after dinner. I want to say we arrived about 930, and found out that we were the last table they were going to accept. So make sure you double check what time they will take walk-ins for dessert. I feel like everyone knows this, but just in case the dessert room is all upstairs and each table is in its own private little room. We were right next to the piano player so we got to hear his playing. Otherwise, if you're a little farther away, then you can choose music in your room, but for us, his piano playing would've definitely drowned out. His piano playing was beautiful though, so I'm not complaining. You can pick up a phone and request songs, which we did. For dessert we got the peanut butter truffle and the vintage lush chocolate sundae. We switched out the ice cream in the sundae for the macadamia ice cream. Everything was super rich and delicious. You need to have a major sweet tooth to eat here, because the desserts were punch you in the face sweet. It is Valet only in Valet is eight dollars. They do let you tip with card, which is nice. Service here is fantastic and everyone is dressed to impressed. This is old school Tampa. So don't expect any modern decor. It's all dark woods and velvet feeling. This is definitely an experience that I think everybody would love.

The macadamia nut ice cream is hands down the best I've ever had--worth the visit all by itself! The peach cheesecake was also absolutely delicious. The service was warm, attentive, and impeccable.

Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Perfection plus! I can't wait to come back.

The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me.

It's vanilla soft serve mixed with chunks of their delicious salted Nutella chocolate chip cookies, topped with more of their salted chocolate chip cookies & a Nutella drizzle. I've tried almost everything on their menu, and this has been my personal favorite to order every time I am there! Think -- a less mixed blizzard with cookie & Nutella globs to eat mainly with a spoon and both a straw for when it begins to melt. The store itself is adorable. Think pink neon lighting, velvet pink couches with fun cookie pillows, and a fun wall for photo opportunities. Recently they also added a super fun Photo Booth outside of their store! They even have a succulent in an ice cream cone shaped pot and a pink street sign on their wall that says "Bake'n Babes". It's all about the little details, and they did a phenomenal job decorating! I love that they have self service touch screens! Usually a staff member is present at the front and helps answer any questions you may have about the menu which is awesome! One recommendation would be to have a button in case you need anyone from the back, and to put the thermostat to be a little less chilly (I'm sure there's a reason for this!). Otherwise perfection!!
